AlivElI SENSATION.

}. ;. Miller Deiirs The Authority of Pres
ident IorrnE and Dares Him tn Enforce
HIS Authority-A Di-graceful Scene.
4 lively and somewhat unusual scene oc
CURED at the meeting of the board of edu-
cation last night. caused by President
Lorenz's authority being defed by }. J.
Miller, one of the members from the Ninth
that he can be peculiarly sarcastic and cut
ting in his remarks, but he usually succeeds
in disgusting everybody within the sound
OF his voice.
Last night he submitted a report of the
teachers committee on the matter of inyit-
in.y Colonel White TO take charge of the
commencement exercises this year. The
report was signed by only two of the five
ssenIberS of the committee, and President
L'nrnZ suggested that il be given no con-
stderation. but referred back to the commit
tee for one week.
This aroused Mr.. Milcr's ire. and in most
Insulting language he began to abuse the
president, telling him. as he said. why he
had not been asked 10 sign the report.
Without entering into the merits of the
personal controversy which the president
and Mr.. Miller have had for some time. il
must he said that the latter's action last
night WAS an insult not only 10 Mr..
LOrenz personally and as the chief
officer of the board, but also To
every member Of the board. Mr.. Miller
became obn0xiously personal in hi, re-
marks and was very properly called to or
der by the president. He refused To come
Ia order. and informed the president
that he could not compel him to come
t0 order. The president called upon the
/. sergeant-at-armS to put the member from
the Ninth in his chair, but the bellgerent
Miller yelled al the top of his voice that
both the president and sergeant-at-armS
could not make him sit down and he would
dare them to try it.
This was kept up until Miller had his say
and then he sat down. After this tender
little episode President Lolenz very proper
ly refused to recognize Miller.
The thing for Mr.. Miller now to do is to
rise like man at the next meeting of the
board and apologize to the president and to
the board.

SKATING IN AMSTERDAM.
Winter Scenes OF Interest the Frozen

Winter Scenes OF Interest the Frozen
Canal of the Datch Metropolis.
As Amsterdam is made up of one
hundred little islands, formed by the
intersection of numerous canals, the
click of steel-clad feet is heard all
around the tourist. The grandest view
of humanity on wings can be had in
the environs of Amsterdam on q Sun
day afternoon. Upon an ice-covered
space of more than six miles square,
created by the union of the Amstel and
the Y, the inhabitants of Amsterdam
and vicinity are out in force, and to see
gang of 10000 skaters is nothing
wonderful. Rows of tents, used as res
taurants, billiard saloons, theaters,
etc, meet the eye everywhere, and the
tired skater has always place on hand
where rest and a supply for the inner
man can be obtained. Gazing apon
the flying assembly, the eye is drawn
to a couple who, hand in hand, execute
the most difficult feat of scientific skat-
| ing, or who, in company with others,
go through the peculiarly intricate
movements of the quadrille. Farther
on, a space of two hundred yards long
| by fifty broad is lined on both sides
with spectators to view the swiftness
of competitive racing. Both ladies and
| gentlemen indulge in these races, and
every season prizes are offered by the
city authorities for the swiftest skater.
Crossing this skating place, you are
nearly overrun by a joyful band of rosy
checked lads and lasses, who, believing
there is speed in union, have supplied
themselves with gaily colored pole
twenty feet long, and placing it under
the right arms of the skaters. ranged
one after the other, annihilate space
with the velocity of race-horse.-

Alaska from Russia he added to the

than England and Wales. The terri
tory stretches out so far to the west

way from New York City to the most

details of the formation of Alaska read

river is at some points from fifteen to

a trading company, which sold the furs
of the region. But in 1867 Secretary
Seward effected a purchase of Alaska

two years ago it was organized as a

A Deserted French Village.

There is charming Arcadian village
called La Tour, situated near Privas, in
the southern Department. of Ardeche,
which has become uninhabitable owing
to the number of crimes which have
been committed therein of late. A
short time ago widow named Roche
was murdered there by her nephew and
niece after she had made her will in
their favor, and on Wednesday two
small farmers quarreled with each other
over small strip of ground which each
claimed as his own. The dispute was
adjusted by one of the improvised liti-
giants kicking the viscera out of his an
tagonist and leaving him for dead on
the field. The inhabitants of La Tour,
justly terrified at the epidemic of crime
which has swept over their once-peaee-
| fui hamlet, have left their homes in a
body and migrated to less bloodstained
regions. One may wel ask where were
the gdrdes chdmpetres, or the gem
darmes, while these crimes were being
perpetrated. Rural France has of late
had an unenviable notoriety for crime,
and all its villages have hardly been
like those blissfal abodes depicted by
lFlorian.-Pdris Cor. London Tele0rGDh.
